All I got out of it was that David was still screwed, but not as bad as he could've been, because:
1. While Conde Nast dragged the case out, he was able to find and forward legal documents to the estate of Walter Gibson that would hose Conde Nast's plans for film and television deals for The Shadow;
2. He also uncovered embarrassing evidence that CN had hidden from Lester Dent's widow Norma that she could have sold her movie and TV rights to Doc Savage, an established print goldmine, at any time, possibly keeping her out of poverty. Then CN finally bought film and TV rights to Doc Savage from clueless Norma for lunch money.
...but I'm not sure of the text myself... it might say that the real Shadow swept in and frightened Conde Nast from lowering the final boom, I'm not really sure.
Little help?
